Referring Physicians - How to Refer a Patient to the JCC

   

If you would like to refer a  new patient to the Juravinski Cancer Centre (JCC) and would like more information, please contact our New Patient Referrals Office at:

Phone # 905-387-9711 ext. 63410

Physicians may also choose to fax in a referral and provide a detailed request for consult including as much information as possible to the New Patient Referral Office at:

Fax #: 905-575-6316

The purpose of the referral, the expectations of the consult and all available pathology and relevant diagnostic tests are vital to help us triage and process the referral efficiently.

As you know, a cancer diagnosis can be devastating for patients and families. Most people find that becoming knowledgeable about cancer and its treatment, understanding the various members of their health care team, and receiving support for the emotional and practical issues related to the cancer helps to ease their distress.

We encourage you to invite your patients to view our virtual tour and visit the many sections of the JCC website while they are waiting to see their oncologist.

By downloading a copy of our Patient and Family Handbook patients can receive information regarding the many resources and supports that are available to them.
